Options

-A name

Create timer or restamp an existing timer's start time.

-D name

Delete given timer.

-F

Flush timer table (delete all timers).

-H

Do not show header when printing the table with -L.

-L [name]

List specific timer (or all timers if no name given).

-S name[,name...]

Stop timer(s).

-W name

Switch to timer (deactive all timers and resume given timer).

-X name[,name...]

Stop timer or extend an existing timer's stop time.

-i

Show I-Start when printing the table with -L.

-q

Be quiet.

-s

Show Cumulative and Elapsed time in seconds.

-t file

Use timer file (rather than ~/.timers).

Notes

Restamping the start mark of a timer will add the elapsed time to the cumulative count.

Restamping the stop mark of a timer will extend the elapsed time (and thus, cumulative time) to "now".
